I only really watch two channels religiously to learn about my GoPro; you explain everything so clearly and at a speed that makes it easy to understand. Thank you for what you do for us novices!

I'm a little late to the party but i must say...this is by far the best guide for using ND filters on the GOPro.

Great job! You earned a sub

Finally, a crystal clear and absolutely informative video around ND filters, how do they work and influence camera footage. Thank you so much!

[paulmorris]

This is extremely well done. Clear, concise, and thorough. It also confirmed for me that when dealing with changing lighting conditions (e.g., hiking through woods to an open field), rather than changing the ND filter all the time, it will probably be more convenient to use a stronger filter and set my max ISO above 100. Thanks so much!

I literally just watched 6 videos of ND filters and found yours the be the best so far. Thank you

[zacharyhardin]

Hey man, I was struggling to find those effects on my gopro specially Blur. Thank you so much for all the explanation and detail in this video, it helped me a lot!

Keep up this nice job.

One thing I have learned in life is a man that knows what he is talking about can plainly and in a simple way explain something. You did all that in about 11 minutes. 🎉🎉 Thanks I am now a subscriber.

I’m particularly only interested in car video at this point and don’t want to spend extra money for a gimbal but at least I know off road I will need one. Really good stuff and teaching skills.

[JHaam]

Hi, just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for this video!
This help has transformed my GoPro videos. I live in the UK and use it for motorcycle helmet cam. It looks so good with the ND8! I think I’ll try an ND 16 too. The motion blur makes the video so great to watch

[mototouro]

[ursulawalter]

Thanks you for this, I appreciate your videos! I have some ND filters on their way, excited to give them a go on my Hero 8/Hohem iSteady Pro 4 setup

[ljmproductions]

Good tip about hypersmooth. That was mostly what I came to this video to learn, so thanks!
